Compare the POSIX APIs, where they were careful to use generic types

something Windows code can manage.

 
You can do this on Windows too, but they had to bastardise their C
compiler for people that hadn't. It's the only one that on a 64 bit
platform that has long as 32 bits.

I know. This is why you have “LP64” (long and pointers both 64-bits)
versus “LLP64” (only long long and pointers are 64 bits, long is still 32
bits). I think LP64 is pretty much universal outside the Windows world.
